Yogurt


A dairy product made from whole or low/nonfat milk combined with a special bacteria that causes the milk to thicken.  The resulting product has a tart flavor. Yogurt has been produced for thousands of years and was originally made as a way to preserve milk.

Today yogurt is available in countless varieties from plain, full fat, low fat and nonfat as well as a myriad of flavors some made with sugar and some sugar free.  Aside from being a good breakfast or snack food yogurt can be used as a substitute for sour cream in sauces and dips.  It is also used as a general cooking ingredient.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
